If you are not hungry, can you take the pills, not eat and have them work or do you need food for them to work?

I wouldn't recommend taking a pill, without eating. If don't have an appetite, there's no need to take one. Also, you need to eat, your body needs nutrition, remember, this pill burns fat and sugar, slowing sugar into the bloodstream. You need to eat!

In my experience, I was eating three meals a day and two snacks before taking the coffee bean extract. I would eat at the same times everyday to help with my metabolism and was losing weight. I would recommend eating at least the three meals each day while taking it. That being said, it does not indicate that it is necessary or not to eat while taking it. The directions simply read "take one capsule 3 times daily 30 min before meals..." but they do not say whether it is necessary. Hope this helps.

I would take them with at least SOME food, even if a small amount. I only took them with food, it may make you sick to take them on an empty stomach.
6095
Don't know how to answer, but I would be cautious of a possible stomach ache.

I been practicing portion control so when I wake up I take a protein shake and then the pill and I am fine. I have taken them before on an empty stomach and been fine. No Jitters, No nausea. So I can say I think you would be fine except everyone is different so keep that in mind.

Diamond -- You can still take them even if you're skipping a meal. For me, the main benefit that I've received is appetite suppression, extra energy, and a bit of an increase in an overall feeling of "well-being" which I still get even if I've missed a meal. I try not to completely skip meals because that can lower your metabolism. Instead I try to at least grab a piece of fruit or a yogurt if I'm not going to have an actual meal. I believe the green coffee bean extract is also supposed to have a positive effect on our metabolism; but it is too early for me to tell if it's speeding up my metabolism in addition to the other benefits I've received.

they will upset your stomach a tiny bit. Nothing major but I have taken them and forgotten to eat within the hour it recommends. My blood sugar doesn't allow me to skip meals.

I believe it works by blocking the sugar from being absorbed. Although I think for it to work correctly you should take it 3 times daily.

I take it if I am not because I don't have a schedule to eat. So I rather take it just in case I get hungry. However it does not seem to suppress my appetite.

Hi there, I am Karen Clark from Top Results. The recommended process is "As a dietary supplement, take one (1) veggie capsule twice daily (on an empty stomach) with an 8 ounce glass of water, ideally 30-60 minutes before breakfast and lunch." Swallow each pill whole, they are not big so that should not be a problem.The point about taking the capsules 30-60 mins before a meal is to give it time to be absorbed into your system so that the appetite suppressant properties can have some effect and also the fat blocking mechanism too. It's also important that you take them on an empty stomach, so they can be absorbed fairly quickly. Hi there, I am Karen Clark from Top Results.

The past couple of years I have needed to eat a piece of toast with my multivitamin but I don't have any stomach troubles taking this pill with or without food. Hope thus helps.

I would just do before first and last meal, i've takin it then didnt eat until hours later (forgot i took it) and it didnt upset my stomach or anything. I think just taking it before food is suppose to control your hunger later so I dont think it would matter when you took it.

Not particularly... but they're not difficult to get down, either.This is a pill size chart. These aren't capsules, but I'd say somewhere inbetween size 0 & 1 on here.http://www.capsuleconnection.com/files/images/capsule-sizes.gifBe sure to take this with food, as they can definitely make you nauseous on an empty stomach.Hope that helps.

Never had chew them. I have no issue swallowing the pills. If you can handle the taste more power to you.

It increases metabolism and energy as well as helping to curb your hunger, but without a proper exercise routine and a healthy diet of course you won't see any results. There is no magic pill.

do not worry that the pills go down well and does not cause any harm. Drink plenty of water and take them one at a time. thx! :)

Yes, but it's nothing insane if you didnt get the little slip of paper. Try to stick to a 1k calorie diet, avoid the bad carbs and sugars, and take .5 dropper 2x a day on an empty stomach about 10-15 mins before you eat. Let the drops sit under your tongue for about 30 seconds before you swallow.

You can't eat anything! You can only drink water to fill you up. If you don't follow directions then it's not going to work and then your gonna post bad reviews on here

I take mine either way. It has not caused any problem either way. I take morning and night when I take prescriptions or vitamins. In the morning it is after food, but at night I take before supper. I place drops on a spoon and lick the spoon. I take 12 drops twice a day. Bottle lasts 25 days. Seems to give ma a little more energy after 2-3 weeks use. I also want to prevent liver damage, which my drugs are reported to possibly do.

I am not sure. They absorb without food. I do know crushing can alter some pills or supplements. I would suggest chewable citrate or liquid. There are some great bariatric chews out there as well as others. Good luck.

B12 is water soluble so it doesn't need to be taken with a meal (fat). Some people recommend taking it on an empty stomach. You should discuss your needs with your doctor.

I don't think people would go thru the trouble of continuing the supplements if they didn't work.. They are working for me but might not be for everyone.

Hello, my wife has the same problem - she claims not to be able to swallow big capsules, tablets, but with the Digest Spectrum she is OK, especially it really works with Digesting. These caps are slightly smaller than the big ones, like 1000mg vitamin C for example. Just a note: if you think - one doesn't have a problem to swallow food - it is times larger than any pill, so it is all in one's mind, not some restrictions, try to do it with a bite of an apple, or a piece of bread.Hope this helped.Good luck, Mark.

The directions say do NOT eat anything. I didn't eat anything and I felt like it didn't work. I would suggest not eating.

These are pills and there is nothing harmful in them. They really do work. You can tell a difference in a few days. You don't feel bad or hungry.
